XNFMERGE 5.2.1: INTERNAL ERROR: 293


Record #2050

Product Family:  Software

Product Line:  FPGA Core

Problem Title:
XNFMERGE 5.2.1: INTERNAL ERROR: 293


Problem Description:
Keywords: fatal error, .xnf, .xff, xmake

Urgency: standard

General Description:

  XNFMERGE is invoked on the design, and yields the message:

INTERNAL ERROR: 293:  Please contact Xilinx Technical Support.
	Please provide the following details to the support personnel:

	1:  I293
	2:  8192

The error message that XNFMERGE is reporting is due to the fact that there is gr
eater than 1024 files incorporated in the
design.  XNFMERGE stores a reference to every netlist in the design in a fixed-s
ize array so that it put numbered HIERG records and symbol attributes into the o
utput file.  These records and attributes are used by XNFMAP (with using it's -a
 or -q options) to reconstruct the design hierarchy so it can do mapping within
hierarchy boundaries.  This was done to maintain the functionality of the old "m
ap-then-merge" function that was originally done with multiple invocations of XN
FMERGE and XNFMAP.


Solution 1:

If you aren't going to use these map=then=merge options in XNFMAP, then you don'
t need to have these records in the output of XNFMERGE. You can turn off XNFMERG
E's function with the -f command-line switch.

xnfmerge -f design_name
